Lightworks Video Index is most often found on 1 operating systems. These systems consist of Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional.

How to open LVIX file?

The most common problem when using Lightworks Video Index is that a specific LVIX is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open LVIX, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the LVIX file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.

Step 1. Install EditShare Lightworks

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that EditShare Lightworks is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name EditShare Lightworks in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file LVIX with EditShare Lightworks. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open LVIX files.

Programs to open LVIX file

Remember to download programs supporting LVIX files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of EditShare Lightworks with LVIX files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the LVIX file still does not use the EditShare Lightworks program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the EditShare Lightworks application as the default for handling the LVIX file.

Step 3. Update EditShare Lightworks to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the EditShare Lightworks program, it is possible that Lightworks Video Index requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the EditShare website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the LVIX file

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

The LVIX file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the LVIX file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our LVIX file. However, remember that not every infected LVIX file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of LVIX file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair LVIX file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use EditShare help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted LVIX files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the LVIX file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the LVIX file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
